Chapter 452

~5 min read 962 words

It was not until the sun was higher that he had the palace servants help him wash up and bring breakfast.

The original peace was shattered by a voice.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Upon hearing this voice, Fusu struggled to stand up from the stool.

"Why get up? Sit down."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling Fusu to sit down directly without bowing.

Fusu reluctantly bowed to Ying Zheng and then sat back down in his seat.

"I wonder why Father has come so early in the morning?"

Looking at the time, Ying Zheng had clearly just finished the morning court session.

"I had Watching Zhang Han search for a famous physician, but the search was fruitless."

Ying Zheng said.

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, a stunned look appeared on Fusu's face.

However, he then forced a smile.

"I had already prepared myself."

Ying Zheng could naturally see Fusu's suppressed suffering.

He was also suffering greatly.

He had already lost one excellent eldest son.

Could it be that he was to lose his second son as well?

He did not have many heirs to begin with.

This was no different from carving out his heart.

"You are not without a cure."

"I do not know if this pill can clear the poison from your body."

"As for whether you are willing to take it, it is entirely up to you."

Ying Zheng took out that bottle of pills.

Fusu's attention was entirely focused on this bottle of pills.

The pitch-black jade bottle exuded an unusual luster.

Opening the stopper, a refreshing fragrance wafted out from within.

Smelling this medicinal scent, Fusu's head, which had been somewhat groggy, cleared up a bit.

"Father, where did this pill come from?"

Fusu asked hesitantly.

"The Ghost."

Ying Zheng spat out two words.

Although it was handed to Watching Zhang Han, Ying Zheng understood that it was given by the Ghost.

Fusu did not expect the Ghost to actually provide a pill.

This left him truly puzzled.

His gaze was fixed tightly on the pitch-black pill in his palm.

Ying Zheng knew he would hesitate, so he did not speak.

But before Ying Zheng could react, Fusu swallowed the pill in one gulp.

He did all of this too quickly.

It caught Ying Zheng off guard.

"Father, if I do not take this pill, I only have two months of life left."

"Since that is the case, why shouldn't I take a gamble?"

A forced smile appeared on Fusu's face.

Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu; he knew what this child was thinking in his heart.

"Someone, summon the imperial physicians."

He then turned his head and shouted outside the palace.

The imperial physicians soon entered Prince Fusu's palace.

As these physicians entered, their faces were all incredibly ugly.

They had no cure for the toxin in Prince Fusu's body.

Being summoned here again at this time was no different from being baptized by Ying Zheng's fury once more.

Every physician's face was extremely ugly and gloomy.

Many had already made preparations for their afterlife.

Just as Fusu swallowed the pill, he felt a wave of heat spread from his abdomen throughout his body.

Subsequently, his entire body felt as if it were in a steamer, billowing with heat.

Fusu's originally fair face turned bright red under this heat.

Sweat beads poured incessantly from his forehead.

Even the clothes on his body were soaked through with sweat.

Ying Zheng watched Fusu's changes, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

As for the pill the Ghost gave, he himself had no certainty.

He had taken the pill the Ghost gave him initially entirely because of his trust in his son.

This Ghost was under Mo'er's command.

Therefore, he believed the Ghost would not harm him.

But he hadn't experienced such intense changes after taking the pill as Fusu was now.

"Show me, what is happening to him?"

Ying Zheng turned his head and roared at the physicians.

These physicians scrambled to Prince Fusu's side and began to check the situation.

"Why is Prince Fusu's body temperature so high?"

"So much cold sweat on his body."

"Look quickly, the toxin on Prince Fusu's leg seems to be receding."

One of the physicians suddenly lifted Prince Fusu's trouser leg.

Then, they clearly saw that the originally pitch-black lower leg seemed to be fading under this heat.

The physicians, who had thought they were surely dead, saw this scene, and a flash of surprise crossed their eyes.

"Your Majesty, the toxin in Prince Fusu's body seems to be receding?"

One of the physicians turned his head and said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng also looked at Fusu's trouser leg; that patch of black was indeed slowly fading.

"Continue to observe for me."

Ying Zheng said.

Now, where was the fear these physicians had before?

Fusu's body was clearly improving, and the toxin was receding.

At the very least, it meant they were currently in no danger of death.

The fact that a large number of physicians were summoned to Fusu's side again naturally attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives in the palace.

When Hu Hai learned of this news, he immediately arrived at the door of Fusu's palace.

He prepared to investigate the news personally.

"Prince, you are not allowed to enter."

"Presumptuous, I have come personally to show concern for my elder brother; what is wrong with that?"

Hu Hai's arrogant voice rang out outside.

Upon hearing this voice, Ying Zheng gave Watching Zhang Han a look.

Watching Zhang Han understood immediately and walked toward the outside.

Hu Hai, who had been reprimanding the guard with a face full of rage, immediately saw Watching Zhang Han walking out from inside.

He was slightly stunned. ===== CHAPTER 454 =====
